New Delhi, November 09 2016:
A PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging Narendra Modi Government's decision to demonetise high denomination notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 .
The petition, filed by a lawyer, alleged that sufficient time frame had not been given for the transition and it would create unprecedented chaos and panic among people.
"Prime Minister's announcement has come to thwart black money, fake currency notes and terrorism; but at the same time, this economic crisis created at the cost of lives of 125 billion of citizens of India, cannot be termed less than 'Economic Terrorism' in the lives of Aam Aadmi," the petition said.
"All this, not only crushes the economy but also lives of those citizens, who may require money more than the allowed limits and many of them may not have credit cards or debit cards," the petition said.
